Summary

Episode 263 Show Notes

Topic of the show: Visual approaches can be one of the most poorly understood procedures for a newly certified instrument pilot. On this week's show, AG and RH review some basic assumptions behind visual approaches, the timing of calling the field in sight, and understanding your position in relation to traffic off the airport.

Timely Feedback:

1. Patron RM shares a story about floppy disks.
2. SGAC Patron JAS shares some more details about the "no IFR departures" story from last week.

Feedback

Patron JP asks how to check in with a Delta tower that knows he's coming.
Patron SN asks what AF1 squawks.
Patron JR asks which is better: practice approaches VFR of filing an IFR flight plan.
SGAC Patron JJ shares a story of nearly catching a jet on final.
